The [[Organizational Effectiveness Committee|Structural Improvements Committee]] (SIC) (as it was then known) deliberated on the IE Report in its November 2010 meeting, anticipating next steps and proposing to exchange potential proposals to the board via email.<ref>[https://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/minutes-bsic-03nov10-en.htm SIC Meeting Minutes], November 3, 2010</ref> Further discussion was planned for the SIC meeting in December 2010, but the TLG review was not on the agenda for that meeting.<ref>[https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/minutes-bsic-2010-12-08-en SIC Meeting Minutes], December 8, 2010</ref> The SIC next addressed the TLG Review at [[ICANN 40]] in March 2011, where it drafted the board resolutions and actions that would be adopted later in the week.<ref>[https://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/minutes-bsic-13mar11-en.htm SIC Meeting Minutes], March 13, 2011</ref>

On March 18, 2011, at its meeting at [[ICANN 40]], the board made several resolutions relating to the IE's final report:
* thanking the IE, ICANN staff, and SIC members for their work on the review;
* establishing the Board Technical Relations Working Group (TR-WG) "to consider measures to enhance the coordination and cooperation between ICANN and other members of the Internet technical community with the intent of, among other things, dissolving the TLG by the 2011 Annual Meeting;"
* charging the working group to engage in a "fully consultative process" with the ICANN community to establish how ICANN should coordinate and cooperate with other members of the Internet technical community;
* instructing the [[Board Governance Committee]] (BGC) to nominate five members to the BTRWG, including a designated chair; and
* instructing the SIC to draft a charter for the working group (the last two resolutions to be completed in time for the board to act on the proposed nominees and charter at its regular meeting in April)<ref name="40resos">[https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2011-03-18-en#7 Resolution of the Board], March 18, 2011</ref>
